Perhaps the very best part of node v0.10.0 is that all of the core modules
are finally fully ES5 compliant!!!
Although, you can't use es5-compliant mode with a shebang
(because you can't pass the --use_strict argument),
so I made a shim that will run node in es5 (strict) mode for you. [0]
Install
sudo npm install -g node-es5
Usage
#!/usr/bin/env node-es5
(P.S. Dear core devs: please provide a native cli for strict mode node)
Except in the case that you're writing code that also runs in the browser,
you can now skip the obligatory
(function () {
"use strict";
// code goes here
}());
Not that there's any harm in putting it in... but it's just annoying.
You can also take out `strict: true` from your `.jshintrc` for your node
projects. (An `implicitstrict` option may come soon [1]).
Anyway, this is certainly a GIANT step forward in eliminating the excuses
of using bug-prone ES3 code.
Hurrah to the Node Devs!
